He’s just dealing with the trauma of the Bowling Green Massacre the best he can.

So, we’re up to 3 totally fraudulent Republican representatives in the US House. Wonder how many more personas were elected to positions of power last year?

Republicans, it’s not the “libs” getting owned, it’s you.

Maybe next election some candidates will run basic background research on their opponents BEFORE they lose.

I bet if we went around the house of representatives we’d find 20 to 30 similar stories.

Ogles was essentially gerrymandered in when Tennessee Republicans decided that Davidson County, where Nashville, the state capitol is located and one of the state’s major population centers, needed its votes diluted.

As a Tennessean I can only say I’m sorry. Ogles is technically my state representative but he doesn’t represent me.

Heck, when you make it clear that your entire party is willing to swear eternal allegiance to a serial liar, it makes all the serial liars realize they can get a good job for laughs…

is it too much to hope that a party puts up candidates who are who they say they are?

where’s the responsibility of the gop here? they’re the ones who continually claim “personal responsibility” - yet they and their candidates have none?

how about we have two parties who compete based on experience, character, and policy - not based on who can investigate the other candidate best

“If you believe Middle Tennessee’s newest congressman, he’s not only a businessman, he’s also an economist, a nationally recognized expert in tax policy and health care, a trained police officer, even an expert in international sex crimes.

That last bit I can believe. He looks and sounds like a friend of Ghislaine’s?

@gatto I assume that the Republican Party recruit their representatives on a “don’t ask, don’t tell” basis.

On behalf of everyone, if I may, I apologize to all the innocent Santos out there as it appears your surname has become a noun and, I imagine, quickly a verb. Such is the hyper interwebs.

Is only expected if Democratic voters - you know, people of color, women, and everyone else white supremacist christofascist men and their help-meets don’t like.

So, how do these cheeseballs get elected? Because I want that gig. Just for the healthcare, and access to the office closet. And maybe the bribes.

Kinda makes me wonder how Herschel Walker DIDN’T get elected.

There’s more extensive vetting for a job at Taco Bell than GOP representative.
